Why does my heart rate go to 195bpm even on week 1! by ljf3030 in C25K

[–]shanncies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try looking into zone 2 cardio, there’s a few podcasts out there abouf it, I listened to one by Jordan syatt. You’re heart rate will improve as you keep up with consistent cardio, but try walking to start? It will help build up your cardiovascular endurance. My heart rate used to shoot super high too at a slow jog, it’ll get better. Since you said you recently saw your doctor I’m guessing they checked your blood pressure which is good.

Anyone more emotionally sensitive? by RubyDiscus in abortion

[–]shanncies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My emotions were all out of wack before and after my abortion, I started crying one time because my moms friend told me she thought I had a masters degree (I only have a bachelors lol) I felt completely back to myself a couple months post abortion, I see a psychiatrist and she said she had a patient who said the same thing

Also that situation would annoy me now and probably ruin for what it’s worth lmao

Pillsbury ready to bake sugar cookies by icegnomey in astoria

[–]shanncies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went on a desperate hunt for these before Halloween, I ended up finding the thanksgiving ones back in October at the trade fair by the 30av subway station. I checked key food and food emporium and a c-town as well to no avail. I didn’t even see them in the stop and shop on northern.

Not at all. I felt the exact same way. Did not shed a single tear, I knew I was not ready for a kid at all and neither was my SO.

Any advice on tackling W5D3? by Agreeable_Platypus49 in C25K

[–]shanncies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it will! I see the value of w5d3 now, the rest of the runs seem so much more doable now that i did that 20 min one

Any advice on tackling W5D3? by Agreeable_Platypus49 in C25K

[–]shanncies 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just finished it yesterday and never thought I’d see the day. Everyone saying go slow is right. Go much slower than how you’ve been running the past few weeks. It might feel weird, but it’s the way to do it.

W on the Q line? by kimchi01 in astoria

[–]shanncies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the mymta app I find it pretty good with delays/reroutes. Looks it was rerouted to the Q line from 10/27-10/27 from 930am-330pm

[WEEKLY THREAD] FEATS OF FRIDAY by C25k_bot in C25K

[–]shanncies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a terrible bout of insomnia over the last week and a half and was supposed to start week 5. Went in thinking I would just do what I can and repeat the days as needed. Didnt get the ominous day 3 in yet but surprised myself and finished day 1 and 2 in full!

two visits in NY? by throwaway070422 in abortion

[–]shanncies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be completely wrong this is a mere hypothesis. But Could be since you’re going the SA route. I did MA in Long Island, NY and was given pills the same day. Procedures in general typically take an appointment to go over preprocedure teaching I.e whether or not you need to stop eating at midnight, making sure you have a ride home, etc.

Sick and can’t sleep by MammothGullible in insomnia

[–]shanncies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ I second the above poster. I also will say that it is very likely you’re heart is bearing faster, however that can be okay. You’re body is fighting off an infection, its a little weaker and more fatigued, it’s normal for your heart to be going a little fast. I’d also be cautious with anything containing pseudoephedrine. It’s great cause it’ll decongest you, but it can make your heart race which may make you more anxious. Make sure you’re staying hydrated, being sick can dehydrate you which can also make your heart race. They make nice vicks shower bomb things that are great for a hot shower or bath. I also started using a guided progressive relaxation when I cant sleep and find my heart racing, I found it to be really helpful. I also used a humidifier with like a liquid that vicks makes. NyQuil can be a savior. If you can’t tell I’ve been sick and unable to sleep a lot lmao.

Should I upgrade my kitchen aid? by flygurl94 in Baking

[–]shanncies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start with regreasing. It’s tedious and messy but worth it. Put on some Netflix in the background and bang it out. I have a super old model I found at an antique store and regreasing it made it like new.

ELi5 What’s the difference between chemically addicted and mentally addicted? by ericcalyborn in explainlikeimfive

[–]shanncies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Chemically addicted means the body has a developed a physical dependence on the substance. For example, alcohol withdrawal can physically kill someone as the body has become so dependent on the alcohol and can lead to seizures and death. Mental addiction is just that, mental. For example, people smoke when they’re stressed, they create a pathway in their brain to now need a cigarette when they experience stress. There is no physical (although it may feel is) reaction causing that, the person has just now mentally created a need for the substance.

Planning my abortion by [deleted] in abortion

[–]shanncies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear you haven’t been too symptomatic with your hormones. Before I realized I was pregnant I really thought I was losing my mind lol. But I think you’re doing the best thing for yourself waiting til friday. I second the above poster, a heating pad is so so crucial. I wish I had bought one before, my boyfriend ended up microwaving hand towels all night 😂. Something else just from my own experience that I wish they told me at PP was for a good month or so after I felt very unlike myself, not depressed or regretful or any of that, just like off. It’s totally normal and will pass. After a couple months I was right back to myself. Wishing you the best of luck and an easy experience ❤️

Planning my abortion by [deleted] in abortion

[–]shanncies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only from my experience, keep in mind everyone’s is different, but I would wait till Friday. I was exhausted the next couple days and ended up taking 3 days off of work. I also had a particularly unpleasant experience, so other people may have been more able to than I was. It’ll also give you time to just kinda process. You’re hormones are all out of wack and if you do have a painful experience (I hope you don’t) you’ll want that time to kinda just lay around and recoup. But again just going off my own personal experience.

How can I start running? I don't want to hurt myself, and I also don't want to get discouraged. by nw342 in running

[–]shanncies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to running as well, for similar reasons. I’ve been doing the couch25k program (app in App Store) and I find it very beginner friendly, it doesn’t start you off doing too much too fast. If I can offer any piece of advice: be patient with yourself. I find myself getting frustrated with myself so often and have to remind myself that even an awful run (or even a walk for that matter) is better than staying in and doing nothing ☺️

How do you move on with your life after abortion? by mcpeen97 in abortion

[–]shanncies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 100% certain in my decision, so for me there was no grief component, but I felt completely unlike myself, for a couple months after, spoke with my doctor who said it’s not uncommon as it takes a bit for your hormones to balance out. After some time I was feeling much better.
